Do good and do well – Amicus (YC S12)
on May 28, 2013 | hide
At Amicus, you can do good and do well. You can improve lives and work on interesting problems. For instance:

We helped win marriage equality: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/11/the-social-network-effect-that-is-helping-legalize-gay-marriage/265793/

We're well funded: http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/13/amicus/

We work on interesting problems:

- Open source projects, including our own in house, soon to be open sourced, real time Model View Presenter javascript framework with bi-directional data binding

- Machine learning and/or statistical analysis on demographics and how they relate to outreach/fundraising effectiveness

- A realtime collaborative community environment for supporters of non-profits to communicate, and provide each other encouragement. This will involve realtime javascript with node.js, socket.io, and backbone.js

- Realtime data visualization with D3, including D3's map projection, to create data visualization's to help client's understand the impact Amicus is having on their organization

- And for lulz: A Minecraft mod/voxel.js project for devirtualizing virtualized servers. Basically a minecraft mod that allows you to control AWS instances by putting down/picking up blocks :-)

Sound interesting? Want to change the world for the better? Shoot an email to jobs+HN@amicushq.com and tell us why you'd be a good fit. Include a link to your github and/or linkedin.
